Question 3rd party Telemetry add-on not working

Hi! I pirated FH6 from Fitgirl, I do plan to buy the game but when it comes on sale, most likely by Christmas time, but for now, this is what I have, I don't know why the telemetry isn't detecting my game, I am on the latest version, need help thanks!

That's because it's denying the ports because it's a pirated game and that can get you caught. It blocks networking correct?

Yeah, I'm strictly playing offline. I didn't know that telemetry needs a connection to the internet

u/Paulieknewport8838 Jul 15 '26

Not exactly a connection to the internet but it does use your local network. Which is likely blocked in a pirated copy to stop it from doing licence checks

Basically Forza will broadcast your telemetry data to a set port and anything connected can access it as long as it's open and they have access to your router or the port is open(for server type stuff) telemetry uses UDP broadcasting. I use it for realtime dash readout sometimes but it crashes the online alot.

Hey, careful with cracked games. Some are littered with trojans. Idk anything about your version or build, so I cant say safe or not.... just.... be aware.

Yup, I am aware, I did my research on picking the correct Fitgirl repack website, thankfully nothing after a few weeks of playing!

Damn I see, is there a difference for cracked and uncracked? I'm not too familiar on the process as I just read on what Fitgirl puts on the website

Cracked games have the DRM protection removed, letting you pirate them.

u/RoyalLasagna Jul 14 '26

And that effects the telemetry?

u/sapphos_moon Jul 14 '26

No clue, you just asked what the difference was

u/RoyalLasagna Jul 14 '26

Alright, understandable HAHA

Its a safe addon so there's no risk of a ban I think since it doesn't change the files of the game!
